SKIN TYPE #4S:COMBINATION-DRY (normal to dry)

+ SENSITIVE

COMBINATION-DRY SKIN

Combination skin can be quite a balancing act. Often your nose and chin can be fine, but your cheeks and forehead can be quite dry.

Naturally produced skin oils protect your skin from moisture loss. But as you get older, your skin produces less of the oils that keep it soft and supple. Which is why fine lines and wrinkles become more visible the dryer your skin is and you can begin to feel “old” …older than you should!

You might feel self-conscious and start trying to hide dry skin and fine lines with bucket loads of moisturiser and makeup.

And it can be frustrating, feeling like you need two different skincare regimes for your skin.

Cleanse with lukewarm water and have lukewarm showers

Washing or cleansing with water that’s too hot can strip your skin’s natural skin oils. The same goes for long, hot showers or baths. These can leave skin feeling tight and dry

Use Gentle Cleansers

Avoid cleansers with harsh detergents, like sodium laurel sulphate or coco betaine. You’ll know if a product contains harsh detergents by it’s “soapy” feel and ability to form lots of suds. Instead choose cleansers with gentle detergents, like yucca extract. You can also try oil cleansing …or better yet, try one of our Konjac Sponges. They’re super gentle and no cleanser is needed. Always remove makeup at night time, for your skin type a super soft microfibre cloth is suitable

Alternate 1 or 2 Moisturisers straight after cleansing

Use a lighter moisturiser when skin is more normal – in summer or when the weather is more humid. You can also try using a lighter moisturiser on the more normal areas of your t-zone, or using less of a richer moisturiser in these areas. Use a richer moisturisers when skin is drier, especially in winter when the air is dry. Support your skin’s barrier function with moisturisers containing natural fats and oils like grass-fed tallow and emu oil. These ingredients contain lipids found naturally in healthy, youthful looking skin (like saturated fatty acids and cholesterol), which will help to replace any missing components in your skin’s barrier function, preventing moisture loss and calming irritation by keeping allergens and irritants out. Apply your moisturiser straight after cleansing, while your skin is still damp. This will help to seal in moisture, protect your skin from environmental stresses and prevent dehydrated skin from drying further

Be Careful with exfoliation

Very gentle exfoliation a couple of times a week can be helpful for dry or ageing skin, but it can irritate sensitive skin. Avoid AHA’s and BHA’s as well as most physical exfoliants. Instead, look to gentle natural ingredients like oatmeal, coffee and papaya or other fruit enzymes. Or why not try a DIY honey and yoghurt mask? Honey is a great humectant ingredient that helps to attract and bind water in the top layer of skin. And our Konjac Sponges are also super gentle

Eat Natural Fats

Including grass-fed tallow, ghee, lard, avocado and coconut as well as foods that contain omega 3’s, like oily fish. A Japanese study of 716 women found those who ate the most saturated fat had significantly less wrinkles and better skin elasticity. Saturated fats make up the cell membranes of every single cell in your body, including your skin cells. Strong, healthy cell membranes containing good amounts of cholesterol and saturated fats will help your skin cells retain water. So skin cells stay nice and plump like grapes. Rather than dehydrated like raisins.

Get Your Beauty Sleep

Studies show that when we don’t get enough sleep, our rate of moisture loss from skin is increased and our skin’s protective barrier function is reduced, as is our rate of skin repair and rejuvenation. Aim for 7-9 hours of good quality sleep in a pitch black room

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT THESE PRODUCTS?

"I love my Ecology Cream. I have 3 young boys and without it, I'm sure my face would be a wrinkly mess 😂 ...after the birth of my twins, stress and exhaustion resulted in many fine lines appearing around my eyes. After using ecology cream (I apply it a little thicker under my eyes at night), the fine lines have reduced significantly"

Amber

"This has been so good for my skin ... eczema, allergies , dry skin and the list goes on!!! Since using the sensitive day night my eczema has cleared"

Moira

"Absolutely loving the product! My skin has improved lots since using replenishing cream (my favourite) It's a great fantastic product and with using a Konjac sponge is amazing also. My skin is vibrant again as it's very sensitive. I have a two year old little girl and she loves it too ...thank you xx"

Kristy

"I love the texture and smell of my Ecology cream. My skin soaks up this lovely 'food' instantly and makes it feeling soft and moist all day. Have I told you that I said goodby to itchy, burning skin since I use Ecology moisturisers? Other brands, even ones advertised for sensitive skin left my face with a burning, hot sensation after application."

Emese

“It smells good enough to eat, my skin loves it and it’s also makes an amazing lip balm”

Kirsty, Vitality Kitchen

"I am in Ecology love! I just love it - my skin feels moisturised, calm and superb! I have spent so much money trialling new products which have supposedly been designed for sensitive skin, only to find I react to them first time I use them. I am then of course reluctant to use them again. Your moisturiser is amazing. I cannot tolerate fragrances at all, but your “blue tin” moisturiser has a beautiful and subtle scent that I love.”

Jenny

"I love my Ecology skincare cream because it is all natural, not tested on animals and makes my skin feel smooth and moisturised"

Susan

"It feels good, it smells good and it's chemical free"

Penny

"what I love about your products is that they are natural. I am very conscious about what I put in and on my body. I love the fragrance of the replenishing cream and the texture is nice too. I mostly use it on my hands and arms - on my way somewhere in the car (busy life - lol)"

Lorraine

“I love this cream! It is the best! Everyone in our family uses it now including my 3 year old granddaughter"

Irene

“I've been using the Soothing Cream for myself too... and I find it really moisturising! So it's really versatile for all the family! Kids think it's a real novelty and always look forward to putting some on their face whilst I do! Thank you again... amazing products!"

Anita

"I thought “just another loofah” until it arrived and I started using it. It’s amazing, never used anything like it “love it”

Maree

"This cream has been a life saver. I use immune suppressants to tackle my atopic dermatitis issues. Even during the worst flair ups this cream soothes and calms the itch and redness. I have little pots of it in every bag, drawer and pocket! I don’t leave home without it"

Nikki S.

"I recently started using Replenishing Day & Night Cream. I was attracted to the fact that it is a natural product with organic ingredients. I have very sensitive skin and find it extremely difficult to find a product that suits my skin and is non irritating. This cream smells and feels amazing. I love the way it melts into the skin. My skin feels smooth and soft for the first time in a while. I have also been adding it to areas of my hands that suffer from a dry eczema and it is soothing and restorative. I love this cream. Thanks Ecology Skincare”

Kyrstie Barcak, A Fresh Legacy

"I’ve been trialling the Replenishing Day & Night cream with Emu and Olive and have found it very effective. It keeps my eczema-prone skin hydrated all day and I have noticed less redness and much more softness. Also, love the smell! I will definitely be buying the larger size!"

Karen

"I had very dry, red and flakey (I suffer from psoriasis). It made me feel very self conscious and embarrassed at times, as it was alway red and inflamed. I tried everything I could get my hands on, but mostly it only made my skin worse. I now use Ecology replenishing day & night cream for sensitive skin on all my skin, all over my body. This product is brilliant! I am a new person and my skin looks normal again! I can now go out and not feel embarrassed and self conscious. My skin looks great ! It has changed my life!!”

Ann

"I’ve tried so many different products in the past, each time spending a small fortune and ending up with irritated and angry patches on my face. This is perfect! My skin feels soft and hydrated AND looks healthy and glows. All this with minimal ingredients and NO hidden nasties. Thank you for making a gorgeous product!"

Rima, Facebook

"I am halfway through my first pot of Ecology Skincare and I have to say that I have never had so many comments about how healthy my skin looks. I suffer from sensitive skin and eyes and have never had any adverse affects from this product, which I have had with so many other (very expensive) natural/organically promoted products! I can whole heartedly recommend this product"

Julie, Facebook

"The Ecology creams feel lovely, and my skin is smoother and firmer since I started using them a few months ago. I have also noticed that the deeper forehead creases that arrived since turning 40 are less pronounced these days. Hurrah!"

Susan

"I ordered the first ever Ecology – Emu & Olive Oil about 2 weeks ago and started to try on a small section on my cheek to ensure that there is no reaction to my skin as I have a sensitive skin and can get allergy easily. The moment after I put it on, It felt beautiful, soft and smooth and the good thing I know all the ingredients and they are natural. I tried Ecology under my sunscreen then under liquid foundation, it works set quite nice, does not get greasy and not too dry on the cheek area, not to mention it smell awesome too (but avoid put on the eyelid if you use pencil eyeliner as for me it tends to smudge)”

Lynda, Melbourne

"My eczema returned at the onset of menopause. Since starting to use Ecology Replenishing Cream the blotchiness has reduced a great deal. I still have a few small spots but I believe that they will also disappear. Really love the cream and also the Konjac sponge."

Lorraine

"I'm so glad I discovered Ecology's range of creams! The Replenishing Day & Night Cream with Emu & Olive is my fav. As someone with dry and sensitive skin, especially on my face, I find this cream really does the job - you only need a small amount, and it goes on so smoothly and easily. The fact that it's organic and locally made is an absolute bonus :)"

Assunta

"I was struggling badly with my face peeling off a few weeks back and then i found this cream….OMG what can i say …i will not be getting anything else ever. I like the smell the texture the way my skin feels and it goes a long way. Totally impressed.”

Kim

"I first became interested in Ecology after listening to Crystal on the Primal Shift Podcast-great little show. I’m a 40-year-old Paramedic from Toronto Canada; my workload has certainly not gotten any lighter nor has the effects of shift work…my primal shift was on! I decided to try the Replenishing Day & Night Cream in conjunction with strong diet and exercise. My six-pack is still a work in progress but my skin is already noticeably “repaired”. Thanks Crystal, great product!”

John, Toronto

"I just LOVE my day and Night cream. So rich and hydrating. A bonus that you only need a little bit and it goes and long long way. Totally hooked!!”

Tracey H.

"Love this cream! Makes my skin feel nourished ! I have been suffering from rosacea, tried many creams and even doctors prescription, the only thing that cleared it up was my Ecology Cream, can’t thank you enough!"

Ann

"I am in Ecology love! I just love it - my skin feels moisturised, calm and superb!

Susan

"My son has eczema and lots of creams don’t work, so I thought I’d try the trial size first. Its amazing!!! I put it on before bedtime and it’s eliminated the use of his steroid creams. A little goes a long way, just love it"

Maria

"I really like this product, especially in winter when your skin gets dryer. It also works well under foundation. I use the emu & olive night cream which is richer for bedtime, whereas I find the baby moisturiser great for daytime use. I have sensitive skin and this gives me no redness or blotchyness. Thanks Crystal, your products and advice are great!"

Natasha

"Absolutely perfect for my new itchy and peeling tattoo!! Love it"

Britt

"I have Rosacea, so have to be incredibly picky about what creams I use, less I want a bright red face! The cream has not only calmed my skin, but softened it incredibly. It doesn't block the pores, or leave a heaviness on the skin. I've just started using it on my eczema prone 5 year old 🙂 I also suffer from Keratosis Pilaris, which also reacts to many topical creams. Not this one! For someone who suffers with finding moisturisers that don't make my skin flare, and itch; I can't recommend the product more! I was totes skeptical; but holy heavens above- the baby cream (as face cream) is like the most wonderful, softening cream ever! My eyes even look brighter lol!"

Tash

"For the past twelve months I have been using Ecology Skincare, mainly the Revitalising Day and Night Cream. I have absolutely loved the results from using the cream, but my sister bought the Soothing Moisturising Cream for her toddler and it smelt absolutely delicious so I thought I would try it too. I have been using the cream for just over two weeks now and my skin has been feeling soft, has a lovely glow and smells delicious. I started off with acne prone skin and was using medical grade face moisturisers and had found they had a minimal effect on my skin, but my eye lids would still remain dry and my acne scars would stay for weeks even after the spots had gone. Starting on ecology creams took about two to four weeks of adjustment for my skin to feel a lot better. I use the Soothing Baby Moisturising cream once to twice daily after cleansing and have noticed a difference when I am not using it. I have only forgotten for once day and my skin feels dry, even in Melbourne summer. Thank you Crystal for creating such a lovely product that has helped me feel amazing in my skin and smell delicious too!"

Tania

"I'm so excited to have come across Ecology! I love the way it smells and feels on my skin and how I've had less skin issues with dermatitis since using the product. I equally love that I'm putting something that is 100% natural on my body's largest organ- my skin! I've recently purchased the baby cream for my little one too and it is just divine! Smells amazing, melts into his skin, and natural! Thank you Ecology :)"

"Love all the ecology products. Originally bought the face creams for my little girls eczema, I’d catch myself looking for some cream for me and saying oh I’ll just use little of her ‘eczema’ cream forgetting its actually face cream. Especially good in winter when your skin is dryer. But works wonderfully in summer too. Easy to use, and you only need a little bit. Also wonderful on cracked lips."

Lara, Boronia

"This cream is wonderful – it cleared up bub’s nappy rash within hours & with continued use he has not gotten a rash since. It is also lovely to have a cream that does double duty for use on Mum too!"

Kelly, Toowoomba

"Ecology Baby Cream has been great for bubbas nappy area, and I love that it is completely clean and free of artificial chemicals. I will definately be recommending it to others!"

Yvette

"This cream has been a life saver. I use immune suppressants to tackle my atopic dermatitis issues. Even during the worst flair ups this cream soothes and calms the itch and redness. I have little pots of it in every bag, drawer and pocket! I don’t leave home without it"

Nikki S.

"Very happy with the Replenishing Day and Night Cream, my skin is looking less red and blotchy and feels soft and smooth and nourished. I am 50 years old and I’ve even been able to stop using a cream from the doctor specifically for rosacea which has started in the last couple of years"

Lisa

"As I have sensitive skin I tried the emu & olive oil tallow balm formulation. I had some eczema on my arm which lasted about a week – I tried other creams to get rid of it & reduce the horrible itching I was experiencing. But nothing was very effective. I tried the tallow balm on the area where the eczema was and the itching stopped almost immediately. The [appearance of] eczema was totally gone within 3 days. During an overseas trip I received some nasty insect bites (which result in some nasty raised red itchy welts & in some cases sores because I keep scratching the bites). Again I applied the balm several times over a couple of days. The itching went away within a couple of applications and the welts [appeared to]go away. Thank you so much Ecology Skincare! I was a bit hesitant to use tallow balm as my skin can get quite oily and zitty at times – but it absorbed right into the skin on my face leaving very little residue. The smell doesn’t remain so you don’t go around stinking of lard. ? Perfectly fine for everyday use. I use the tallow balm on my face & neck as it’s very creamy. It’s very effective for both day and night use. I have highly recommended this product to family and friends. I love the confidence that I have that Crystal has sourced the ingredients in this product from highly ethical natural and organic producers and that it is good for my skin.”
